Design trendsetter Kelly Wearstler shares the inspirations behind her opulent interiors. Known for decadent designs that combine old-Hollywood swankiness and modern pop sensibility, Wearstler is the celebrated designer behind boutique hotels such as the line of Viceroys and the tastemakers Maison 140 and Avalon. Her ornate interiors are distinctive for layers of bold textures, patterns, and rich colors juxtaposed with lustrous surfaces, adding up to a whimsical and elegant look that has been called "mod baroque."

This volume offers a look into Wearstlerâs glamorous world, profiling in detail her latest residential designs (previously unpublished) and her sumptuous new hotels, as well as her creative process. The book also follows the designerâknown for her striking personal styleâbehind the scenes. Watch her at work - creating sculpture at her metal foundry or shopping at auction houses - and find the myriad inspirations that fuel Wearstlerâs imagination and her dazzling designs.
